I think the premise is to find out how Zenyatta would do against other names from different generations and countries.

Yeah should we just pencil her in? Kinda amazing that Alysheba lost to War Admiral, but I guess folks voting for Seabiscuit couldn't resist setting that up. I like War Admiral, I just think "the People's horse" should've come out ahead.

Zenyatta will defeat Personal Ensign in the quarter-finals, proving for the Zidiots that Z was the better horse.

We really should work together as a message board on this, and make sure Afleet Alex wins it all.

Think about this ... if not for Afleet Alex, Giacomo wins the Kentucky Derby, Scrappy T. blows them out in the Preakness and Andromeda's Hero edges the maiden Nolan's Cat in the Belmont.

That's a good one, Doug. I know you mean Afleet Alex not being there at all. But think about this....Afleet Alex is there, and he doesn't recover from the "incident". Scrappy T wins, and is the quickest DQ that any of us have ever seen. That would have made Giacomo the Preakness winner.

We need to thank Afleet Alex not just for being there, but for his heroics in that Preakness. If he hadn't done what he did, Giacomo would have been going for the Triple Crown in the Belmont, and that 3 weeks and those asterisks would have been pretty difficult to deal with.
